Vance was in the middle of a mountain of paperwork, when his desk phone started to ring. He picked it up, and uttered his name with irritation. When the caller identified themselves as Agent Pride, Vance apologized for the way he answered the phone before.
"No problem Director Vance. I was calling about the case we're working on." Said Pride.
"What about it?" Vance asked.
"We've hit a dead end, and we're going to need some help." Said Pride.
"Alright, I'll give you a call when I've found someone to send." Said Vance.
Vance heard Pride say thanks, and they both hung up. Vance was wondering where he was going to find the help. He went back to the paperwork he was working on, and saw Fornell's name. That's when he remembered the FBI having a special division.
Vance called the FBI, and asked to speak with Agent Hotchner. Hotch was sitting at his desk talking with Rossi about how it seemed that the criminal element had taken a break. Rossi agreed, and sat back in the chair in front of Hotch's desk. The rest of the team were at their desks talking with JJ, and working on some paperwork. Hotch was about to say something to Rossi when his phone rang.
"Agent Hotchner." Said Hotch.
"Agent Hotchner, this is Director Vance from NCIS." Said Vance.
"Director Vance, how can I help you?" Hotch asked.
"I need the help of you and your team. My team in New Orleans needs help to solve their case." Said Vance.
"Tell me some of what they have." Said Hotch.
"Then you'll take the case?" Vance asked.
"If I know more, I will tell you yes or no." said Hotch.
Vance began to explain the case; how the New Orleans team have found six dead Petty Officers in two months. The evidence doesn't lead anywhere, no eye witnesses, and no clues in the back rounds. Hotch asked when the last victim was found. Vance told him that the last Petty Officer was found almost a week ago. Hotch thought about it, and in his mind, reviewed the case. When Vance asked him again, if he was going to take the case; Hotch let a moment pass before he answered Vance's question. He told Vance that they would take the case.
"Thank you. I'll inform Agent Pride that you'll be coming." Said Vance.
"You're welcome." Said Hotch.
Hotch hung up the phone, and looked at Rossi.
"So, we're going to help on a case that we don't have a file on." Said Rossi.
"That's right. Get the team, and I'll get Garcia." Said Hotch.
"Do you think that we'll need her there?" Rossi asked.
"Don't know, but I have a gut feeling that we might." Said Hotch.
"Alright, I'll rally the troops." Said Rossi.
As they went to get the team together; Agent Pride, LaSalle, and Brody were called to another scene. Wade was looking at the body, when they pulled up.
"So what do we have Loretta?" Pride asked.
"Another Petty Officer, and from what I can see, he was killed the same way as the others." Said Loretta.
"Wonderful; how much you wanna bet everything we find will lead nowhere." Said Pride.
Pride had then walked back to his team, and got the run down from them. He went to see about getting some witness statements; if there were any. As he walked up to one of the uniformed officers; his cell began to ring.
"Pride." Said Pride.
"Agent Pride, it's Director Vance, I wanted to call, and tell you that I have help on the way." Said Vance.
On the plane Morgan was trying to wrap his head around what Hotch just told them.
